Radiator Set Up 3 Small Vers 1 Large

[TheArchangel]

Im in the process of getting all the innerts to the new rig im goinng to be building/moding and Im going to go with water cooling.

I have been running this through me wittle brain and have talked to a friend that has built several systems now, but still no clue he has never used water.
So what I have been wondering about is, when setting up a complete water cooling system and useing one large Radiator with (3) fans on it set to turn on/off with a tempature senor.

Is'nt the water that is being circulated through the CPU water block and pulling that high heat away and just pushing through the GPU water block and then picking up more heat only to push it through the chip set and or north bridge block before it even gets to the Radiator for cooling again to start the cycle all over again? the water is already holding a lot of heat and if you add HDD blocks, it to is getting hot /warm water passing through the block?
PS: I hope I made some sense here

So what I was thinking of doing was setting up a WC set up with (3) or (4) small Radiators to which I would mount (1) 120mm fan on each, because I was planing on WCing the HDD also.

Here is what I was think of Doing to circulate the water: ( 3 Radiators )
Pump-->>CPU Block-->>Radiator(1)-->>GPU Block-->>Radiator(2)-->>North Bridge Block-->>Chip Set Block-->>Radiator(3)-->>Resivor-->>Pump

With HDD Water Blocks in the loop:
Pump-->>CPU Block-->>Radiator(1)-->>GPU Block-->>Radiator(2)-->>North Bridge Block-->>Chip Set Block-->>Radiator(3)-->>HDD Block-->>HDD Block-->>Radiator(4)-->>Resivor-->>Pump

Or is this just a Nutty Crazy Idea and way way way WAY over kill.

Way way overkill?: Yes.

Try to be kind: you seem like a decent fellow.

There was an article on Overclockers.com a year or so ago that was about this exact question and they did thdyre tests and lengthy math formulas in regards to how many watts of heat energy was being transferred and flow restrictions and everything else boiling down to: run all the blocks in sequence and use one large rad.

On the blocks- Is the chipset block for cooling the southbridge? A lot of people dont even bother using water on the NB let alone the SB. The SB could use just basic passive cooling and be fine even in a heavy OCed rig.
I dont know of anybody using 4 blocks, which right there may be the exact reason to do it.lol.

I will go check that out and learn me some more, very good and thanks much

By the way what are the specs of the system you are giong to build?

OMG!

A dial up modem? Sweet mercifull crap NOOOOOOOO!

J/K. Nice setup there dude.

yes i do have a Cable modem, the Dial up modem is for FAXing, I have Talkworks pro.

Thanks Mike,
